BBC World Service - Business Matters, The US Imposes New Economic Sanctions on Venezuela

There's been international condemnation of Sunday's presidential election in Venezuela

There's been widespread international condemnation of Sunday's presidential election in Venezuela, which gave the incumbent Nicolas Maduro a landslide victory. What has been the effect of the election in Venezuela itself? A question for Emiliana Duarte, Managing Editor at news website, Caracas Chronicles. Also, we meet some of India's female athletes hoping to make their country a sporting superpower. In Italy, a law professor, Giuseppe Conte, has been named as the choice of the Five Star Movement and League to lead the coalition government. Giada Zampano. a freelance journalist based in Rome tells us what Italians know of the man now nominated to lead the government. Our new regular contributor Stephanie Hare explains why disobedience at work might actually benefit some companies. Plus, this week some of the most expensive film posters have been auctioned for thousands of dollars. But what makes someone pay such a high price for film memorabilia? We hear from Mike Bloomfield from a company called Prop Store, who organises these auctions.

We're joined throughout the programme by Jyoti Malhotra, Editor, National & Strategic Affairs, The Print  who's in Delhi, and the journalist and author, Diane Brady in New York.
